What's the best way to preserve old newspaper clippings? They're 40-50 years old and I'm afraid if I don't do something to them, they'll just crumble. Should I laminate them? Thanks, Carolyn

I'm having the same problem, except mine are from the 80's. i have been spraying them with archival mist, but ran out! i have articles spanning 3 years of my husband's high school wrestling career i'm trying to scrap for him for christmas! I have heard somewhere though that you shouldn't laminate them, not sure why. Carolyn
I'm not sure how to preserve newspaper clippings. Your best bet might be to make copies of them. I've heard that you shouldn't laminate newspaper clippings, though. I can't remember why though! Have you thought about asking a local museum about preserving the clippings? They might have an answer.
Here is what I've found. You have to have a little daring to use them though!
